Mario Rosenstock, 40, Actor/Writer

What did you have for breakfast today?


Porridge with honey. I try and have that as many mornings as I can.


If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?


A quiet sunny beach. At this time of the year, I usually have something out like a DVD or CD and I'm very busy. Mauritius would be nice. I was there for my honeymoon.


What is your comfort food?


Toast with avocado, butter, peanut butter and malt vinegar, with some salt. A girl from New Zealand who I was sharing a flat with showed me this snack. It's a total winner.


What website do you look at most?


YouTube. For work and keeping track of Gift Grub uploads. Put Brian O' Driscoll in and 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey - it's a fantastic three minutes of pure pleasure.


How often do you exercise?


Three to four times a week. My favourite is tennis and I play soccer and do weights.


What do you watch on TV?


Everything – Discovery and History channels, Fair City, Prime Time ... I just take it all in. My new fascination is Bear Grylls.


Which Irish person do you most admire?


Oscar Wilde probably. I love his life story and bravery he showed as a gay man living at that time.


What Irish person do you least admire?


Two well-known former banking CEOs.


How punctual are you?


Quite.


What do you most like about yourself?


Honesty. It's a plus and a fault. Tact is something I have to work quite hard on because I'm not naturally given to it. If people know you well, they know you're being honest. If they don't, they think you're being a bit of a prick.


What word or phrase do you overuse?


'Honestly', or 'to be honest'.


What is your favourite cinema?


The Screen in Dublin. I'm not into arty cinemas and this is halfway between your Savoys and your arthouse cinemas.


What was the last text you sent?


'Fuck!' - to someone who'd just committed me to a very tall order on my behalf…


What radio station do you listen to?


Today FM, sometimes Off the Ball on Newstalk, Liveline.


Are you good with credit cards?


I'm really good with credit cards. I have two or three and I pay them back every month.


What was your best holiday?


Two weeks in Positano and Capri, on the Amalfi coast in Italy. I've been a few times. It's straight out of a Fellini film.


How long does it take you to get ready?


Fifteen minutes. Like a lot of blokes I have it worked out to a pretty fine science.


What is your biggest regret?


None yet. Regrets are something that you contemplate when you're much older.


Who was your first crush?


Chris Evert. I was about seven or eight, watching Wimbledon. She used to wear these really short skirts.


When did you last use public transport?


About three weeks ago. A Dart to Blackrock.


What do you worry about?


The January transfer window. I'm a Liverpool fan and we have absolutely no money.


Who did you last vote for?


Mary Byrne.


What would you do if you won the Lotto?


Smash everything in the room where I hear the news.


What time do you go to bed at?


I have to get up at 5.30am so 9.30ish four days a week and a bit later at weekends.
